Savannah State seeks support for scholarships

Those who come in style to Savannah State University's annual Hill Hall Benefit Gala May 7 could leave in a luxury automobile.

The black-tie event raises money for academic scholarships to attract top students to Savannah State - the oldest public historically black college in the state.

The Hill Hall Gala takes place at 8 p.m. May 7 in the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center.

Those who contribute $100 or more to the university will get a chance to win the use of a Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor from Critz Inc., for one year, with free gas, compliments of Enmark. The car will be raffled off during the gala.

Tickets to the event cost $100 each and may be purchased in the university's Office of Institutional Advancement, which is located in Gardner Hall.
